A coating film transfer tool in which a rotational torque with the least variability may be generated without being affected by a surface state of a resilient body may include: a paying-out core having a coating film transfer tape wound thereon; and a rewinding core that rewinds the coating film transfer tape after use. The paying-out core and the rewinding core are interlocked via a power transmission mechanism in a case. The transmission mechanism generates a rotational torque by a frictional force on a sliding surface between components, by using a restoring force of a resilient body. The resilient body is configured to rotate integrally with a component A that comes into contact with one end of the resilient body and a component B that comes into contact with the other end.

A footwear lacing apparatus can comprise a housing structure, a modular spool and a drive mechanism. The housing structure can comprising a first inlet, a second inlet, and a lacing channel extending between the first and second inlets. The modular spool can be disposed in the lacing channel and can comprise a lower plate including a shaft extending from the lower plate, and an upper plate including a drum portion. The upper plate can be releasably connected to the lower plate at a connection interface. The drive mechanism can couple with the modular spool and can be adapted to rotate the modular spool to wind or unwind a lace cable extending through the lacing channel and between the upper and lower plates of the modular spool.

An arrangement is provided for determining a spatial orientation of a line portion unrolled from a cable drum. The arrangement includes a fastening base and a measuring probe having a cable guide and being pivotable in relation to the fastening base about a first and second axes of rotation. The measuring probe is configured to interact with a sensor device, and the sensor device is configured to sense the first and second axes of rotation.

A fastening device includes a main part and a fastening member. The main part is composed of a base, a spool, a knob and an engaging unit. The fastening member disposed at the main part. The spool is disposed at the base. The knob disposed at the base includes a spiral track. The engaging unit coupled to the spool includes a guiding portion coupled to the spiral track. The guiding portion is limitedly moved along the spiral track by rotating the knob such that the engaging unit has a first position and a second position relative to the knob. The engaging unit prohibits the spool from rotating toward a releasing direction when the engaging unit is at the first position, and the engaging unit allows the spool to be rotated toward the releasing direction when the engaging unit is at the second position.

A hose reel, for reeling up a hose for a fluid, is disclosed. The hose reel comprises a drum (100) for the hose to be reeled up on, the drum being moulded, the drum comprising, as integral moulded parts, a swivel connector (120) arranged at a central axis (110), the drum being rotatable about the central axis, a central flow path (130) coaxial with the central axis (110), and a radial flow path (140) extending radially from the central flow path; and a swivel (200) for a supply of the fluid, the swivel being connected to the swivel connector. A method for connecting a hose to the hose reel is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: rotating the drum to align the connector (300) with the opening (410) of the housing (400); and connecting a hose to the connector, alternatively, before connecting the hose, releasing an already present hose.

A fiber distribution system includes a spool mount, a base spool rotatably secured to the spool mount, and a detachable spool coupled to an axial end of the base spool. The detachable spool is configured to be selectively removed from the base spool.

A palm operable leash and operation of a palm activated leash is disclosed. In one or more examples, the leash is a retractable leash. The leash operation is palm activated. In one example, a palm operable actuator is located in the palm area of a retractable leash handle, and is used to lock and unlock the leash.

The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for use of an offshore hose loading station comprising multiple modular reel assemblies that may be selectively configured to a frame attached to a ship and or vessel wherein the reel assemblies may be powered by one motor and engaged for rotation by one shaft and provides a jumper shaft for when a module is taken out of line.

The decorative string light hanging tool comprises an extension structure, a guide structure, a spool, and a light string. The guide structure and the spool mount on the extension structure. The spool stores the light string. The decorative string light hanging tool is an extension apparatus. The decorative string light hanging tool deploys the light string for display. The decorative string light hanging tool retracts the light string back into storage.

A chalk reel includes a housing defining a chalk chamber and an opening from the chalk chamber; a spool positioned within the chalk chamber; and a line wound on the spool and extending through the opening, the line having a width of dimension X. The spool comprises an axial hub and a sidewall. The sidewall comprises a plurality of apertures extending through the sidewall from a first face distal from the axial hub to a second face proximal to the axial hub. Each of the plurality of apertures having a maximum width of dimension Y. The dimension Y is less than or approximately equal to twice the dimension X.
